Newbie w/ no clue

I just installed php mysql and apache on my redhat machine. I was going through this online tutorial: http://www.mysql.com/articles/ddws/5.html ,because everytime i tried to do anything with mysql i would get access denied. I set the root password to "password" and even when i try to change it to something else i get access denied. HELP I can't do anything.
